Blood sugar week continues...todays topic, Fat is your friend! Second question you ask yourself each meal, after you choose your protein, is "where is my fat?" ...We've all heard...eating fat makes you fat. That is completely false. Fat is essential for your body & it's a crucial part of eating in 3's to stabilize your blood sugar. The main benefit of fat for stable blood sugar is it slows down the release of HCL (your stomach acid) which in turns slows down digestion to an optimal pace. This is key in keeping your body satisfied every 3 hours. In addition, the only thing your body is great at storing is fat, & the one main key to triggering the release of your body fat is by eating fat. Remember your body is a refuel as it goes machine, it needs to be fed a balance of PFC (protein, fat & carbs) every 3 hours.
